A patient simulator having a right eye assembly including a right pupil, a right eyelid assembly including a right eyelid, a left eye assembly including a left pupil, a left eyelid assembly including a left eyelid, a transmitter configured to transmit a signal toward an object placed in front of the patient simulator, a sensor configured to sense a signal reflected off the object, and a microprocessor configured to determine a location of the object based on the sensed signal, and to effect movement of one or more of the right pupil, the right eyelid, the left eye, or the left eyelid based on the determined location of the object.

A building block light module includes: an upper portion defining a receiving chamber with opposite open ends; a shield including a plurality of light transmissive surfaces; a circuit board including a plurality of light sources corresponding to the light transmissive surfaces, and a lower portion defining a plurality of connection holes for mating with building blocks. The lower portion and the shield are respectively mounted at the open ends of the receiving chamber.

Putting clothes on a robot is facilitated. A robot includes an operation control unit that selects a motion, a drive mechanism that executes the selected motion, a mode setting unit that sets a mode of the robot, and a power supply control unit. The operation control unit restricts a torque of an actuator included in the drive mechanism when a clothes changing mode is set, and the power supply control unit maintains energization of an electronic circuit that realizes a function of the operation control unit, even while in the clothes changing mode.

A replica eye with programmable iris illumination and a method of making the same is provided. The replica eye includes a programmable lighting element having a planar base with electrical pins outward of a centrally disposed light source is electrically coupled via the pins to one or more electrical connections. One end of a transparent cylinder approximately coextensively abuts the light source. The outer portions of the planar base and its electrical connections are folded into a folded assembly that is received into and adhered along an inner circumferential wall of a ring. The electrical connections are further adhered along a rear portion of the ring and planar base. A semi-spherical dome sandwiches an opaque body to an opposing end of the transparent cylinder, thereby defining an illuminable iris and pupil, respectively.

Devices and methods for illuminating an interactive toy via a light pipe and an external light source. The toy may include a housing. The housing may include a collector portion and at least one output portion. The toy may not have any internal battery, light, or electronics. The light source may be provided via a mount for the toy, such as an electronic device.

A lighted decoration is provided having the form of a human skeleton figure. The figure is ornamental and has a head, a rib cage, a spine, arms, legs, and a hip bone. The skull has an open interior supporting a battery power supply therein, which supplies electrical power to the light sources of the figure. Light sources are disposed within the eye sockets of the skull, while the spine further comprises an open interior with one or more light sources supported therein. The light sources of the spine are disposed within a tubular interior thereof, or alternatively are situated within individual spinal processes extending outwardly from the tubular body of the spine. Furthermore, a heart-shaped housing within the rib cage additionally may be provided with a light source therein. One or more switches and an optional controller unit govern the operation of the light sources throughout the figure.
